DES decryption

    Hello

    I've implemented DES encryption in C. Now I want to implement decryption :)

    I've read:

    Decryption is simply the inverse of encryption, following the same steps as encryption, but reversing the order in which the subkeys are applied.

    Does this mean reverse the order of the subkeys when XORing the output of the e-bit selection table? Or does it mean something else?

    Any help appreciated.

    Thanks

    It means for decryption the round keys are calculated exactly the same way as encryption... except they are applied in reverse order to the rounds in the encryption process, to perform decryption....
